Deploy Shared Client Certificates for Authentication

Generate a certificate to deploy to multiple GlobalProtect clients.
Create the root CA certificate for issuing self-signed certificates for the GlobalProtect components.
Select
Device
Certificate Management
Certificates
Device Certificates
and then click
Generate
.
Use the
Local
certificate type (the default).
Enter a
Certificate Name
. This name cannot contain spaces.
In the
Common Name
field enter a name to identify this certificate as an agent certificate, for example GP_Windows_clients. Because this same certificate will be deployed to all agents using the same configuration, it does not need to uniquely identify a specific user or endpoint.
In the
Signed By
field, select your root CA.
Select an
OCSP Responder
to verify the revocation status of certificates.
Click
OK
to generate the certificate.
Set Up Two-Factor Authentication.
Configure authentication settings in a GlobalProtect portal agent configuration to enable the portal to transparently deploy the client certificate that is
Local
to the firewall to clients that receive the configuration.
